Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 5 cups (450 to 750 grams) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) brown sugar
  • 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (45 grams) oats
  • 1/2 cup (50 grams) almond flour (optional, for gluten-free)
  • 6 tablespoons (85 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120 grams) cottage cheese, blended smooth
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream or full-fat yogurt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon (5 grams) baking powder
  • 1/4 cup (30 grams) chopped nuts like almonds or pecans (optional)
  • Dairy-free alternatives such as coconut yogurt or plant-based milk (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse 4 cups (600 grams) of fresh strawberries under cold water. Hull and slice them evenly. Set aside about 1 cup (150 grams) for topping or garnish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon (5 grams) baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In another bowl, blend 1/2 cup (120 grams) cottage cheese, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk, and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined—do not overmix. The batter will be slightly lumpy for fluffy pancakes.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour 1/4 cup (60 ml) batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook another 2 minutes. Keep warm on a plate covered with foil.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, toss 3 cups (450 grams) sliced strawberries with 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) lemon juice.
  7. In another bowl, mix 1/2 cup (60 grams) oats, 1/2 cup (60 grams) flour, 1/4 cup (50 grams) brown sugar, and 6 tablespoons (85 grams) softened butter until crumbly.
  8. Transfer strawberries to a greased 8-inch (20 cm) baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the topping is golden and strawberries are bubbling. Let cool slightly before serving.
  10. Serve pancakes topped with fresh strawberry slices and a drizzle of maple syrup. For crumble, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

Do not overmix pancake batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Add a teaspoon of melted butter to crumble topping if too dry. Watch crumble after 25 minutes to prevent burning. Use room temperature eggs for better batter texture. Pancakes reheat well in toaster oven or skillet; crumble reheats best in oven to keep topping crisp.
